En octubre de 1991, un puñado de farmacólogos decidimos iniciar reuniones perió-dicas para intercambiar puntos de vista sobre las distintas líneas de investigación farmacológica que se desarrollaban en las universidades, hospitales y laboratorios farmaceuticos de la Comunidad de Madrid. La primera tuvo lugar en octubre de 1991, y adopto el nombre de Reunion de Farmacologos de la Comunidad de Madrid; en los ultimos años, su nombre se cambio a Farmadrid.

Las reacciones cutáneas se encuentran entre los tipos más comunes de efectos adversos medicamentosos que ocurren en el 2% de todos los tratamientos. Entre los síndromes cutáneos más graves se encuentra la necrolisis toxica epidermica. Es un Sindrome agudo, raro, con una incidencia a nivel mundial de 0.5-1.4 casos/millon de habitantes/año; que amenaza la vida con una mortalidad del 20-60%. Afecta mas del 30% de la superfcie corporal. Puede ocurrir a cualquier edad con un pico entre 46-63 años. Las mujeres representan 60% de los casos.

La retinosquisis es un desdoblamiento de la retina neurosensorial en dos capas. Existen tres tipos de retinosquisis, la retinosquisis periférica degenera-tiva o del adulto aparece a partir de los 20 años y suele ser asintomatica y no suele precisar tratamiento.Caso Clinico: presentamos un paciente varon de 28 años que de forma casual se encuentra una retinosquisis inferior en ambos ojos cercana al area macular pero sin afectacion de esta. El paciente ha sido observado sin realizar ninguna intervencion, permaneciendo estable.

El artículo científico es una publicación primaria; y por ello sus lectores deben encontrar en esta clase de informes, la información suficiente para analizar las observaciones, repetir los experimentos y evaluar los procesos intelectuales que condujeron a su creacion. De acuerdo a esto, solo los articulos experimentales serian verdaderos textos cientificos, aunque en las revistas se publican otros tipos de textos. Mas alla de las diferentes concepciones, todo articulo publicado se identifica por presentar las siguientes caracteristicas: Formal: los articulos deben ser identificados claramente para su recuperacion posterior. Publico: los interesados pueden acceder a su lectura (por suscripcion, prestamo o intercambio). Controlado: los integrantes de la comunidad cientifica pueden aceptarlo o rechazarlo. Ordenado: en su redaccion respeta normas tecnicas definidas. Aunque estas virtudes permanezcan vigentes, el paso del tiempo ha producido en los trabajos cientificos dos fenomenos irreversibles: el envejecimiento por el progreso de la ciencia; y el excesivo volumen de informacion.

Ceramic implants mark a turning point in the field of dental implantology. Zirconia can offer not only remarkable biocompatibility and esthetics but also exceptional strength and durability. Titanium has long been considered the gold standard, but under the right indications, zirconia can truly be the superior choice. Patients have higher esthetic expectations than ever before, and some want to avoid introducing metals into their bodies. This text covers the biomechanical and biologic properties of ceramic dental materials, the challenges that remain in the field, and practical considerations such as material selection and surgical implementation, so you can confidently meet the diverse needs and wants of every patient who walks through your door.

A critical look at our modeling techniques, and what idealized modeling can tell us, if anything, about the mind and brain.In The Idealized Brain, Michael Kirchhoff explores the challenges of using idealized modeling in computational neuroscience. The book spans work on neural coding, deep learning, machine learning, AI, philosophy of cognitive science, and philosophy of science.The author addresses many of the epistemic uses and harms of idealization across multiple scales and paradigmsfrom early biophysical models, information theory, neural coding, deep convolutional neural networks to explainable AIhighlighting connections that should have far-reaching consequences for both philosophy of cognitive science, methodology in computational neuroscience, and how we communicate the results of our research.Kirchhoff argues that we need to place approximation methods such as idealization at the heart of our discussions in computational neuroscience, philosophy of neuroscience, philosophy of cognitive science, and philosophy of mind. Only then can we make progress to ensure that our interpretations of computational modeling of the mind and brain are robust and on a secure epistemic and metaphysical footing.

A visual and engaging overview of neural implants, as well as the ethics, technical challenges, and potential pathways for more advanced solutions to reach patients.Machines in Our Minds offers a unique look at the history and the status of medical neural implants. Ian Halperna PI who cofounded a neural implant company and served on the inaugural US presidential BRAIN initiative review paneldiscusses the origins of these implants, animal and clinical research, the details of the technology, the ethics, risks, and challenges, and finally, the future for many millions of patients.The book focuses on the stories behind neural implants that have achieved sustained commercialization (not simply launched), the technical and business challenges of reaching patients, and the future of advanced neural implants. Bridging the many disciplines that are part of neural implant development and commercialization, the book provides developers with useful details, patients with a more well-rounded understanding, and technology enthusiasts with accessible descriptions to counterbalance recently accelerating hyperbole.

"A powerful, moving memoir. I learned so much, not only about illness and caregiving, but finding resilience, joy, and even humor, in some of the hardest moments we all must face."Daniel Mason, author of North WoodsWith remarkable insight and vulnerability, a leading researcher and cancer advocate distills the lessons for living that hes learned as a doctor and as a patient, after being diagnosed with his own terminal illnessbased on his enormously popular Stanford class.Over the course of his twenty-year career, Dr. Bryant Lin treated many patients with lung cancer. He never smoked, and never imagined that he would be diagnosed with the same terrible disease. After cycling through the stages of grief and two rounds of chemo, he realized that his diagnosis presented an opportunity to learn. For the first time, he experienced the cancer diagnosis and the complexities of treatment as a patient, rather than a doctor. Determined to give back and to keep teaching, Dr. Lin created a course at Stanford Medical School called From Diagnosis to Dialog: A Doctors Real-Time Battle with Cancer, to share his experience with a terminal illness as both a doctor and a patient. The class was a sensation on campus and soon attracted international media attention. Now, Dr. Lin brings us into the classroom to offer us an inspiring exploration of how to live when you are dying. How can we prepare for intimidating medical news and navigate treatment? How can we find hope in the face of terminal diagnosis? In Sunshine, Dr. Lin offers both philosophical and scientifically grounded insights into how we can make the most out of life even in the most challenging moments.

How the ground-breaking discovery of a new material form in chemistrymatter in a dynamic kinetic stateis helping to explain lifes unique characteristics.The materialist view of nature has guided scientific thinking since Galileoreality can be measured, modeled, and explained. Nature is objective. But our everyday life experiences just dont seem to fit in with that view. Purpose, desire, and consciousness are real, but not objective. How could natural processes have led to such unnatural consequences? The physical nature of living matter, a material form that has totally overwhelmed our planet, remains inexplicably unresolved. Biology, never mind psychology, simply does not make basic physical sense. Until now.In Lifes Chemical Secret, Addy Pross offers at last a scientific explanation for lifes greatest puzzle. Through the discovery of a new dimension in chemical possibility, Pross and his collaborators have opened a new door to understanding lifes fundamental nature. The emergence of cognition, mind, and purpose is now comprehensible through the existence of dynamic kinetic states of matter. Some four billion years after life on earth first appeared, living forms can now understand how the universe was able to discover itself.
